If you could choose who are you wanting as the next party in government in a few years?

People always say that no one would sign for us at this point but personally I think that's bollocks. Yes we will lose out on some players but in the summer the likes of Derby, Watford and Milwall made some decent signings and no one would be saying they were or are miles more attractive than us. We should have the resources to bring in one or two players who will improve us as a team.

Isac Lidberg.

I'd be starting Charles.

Nah. I prefer strong dislike with a dash of indifference. We know we are superior and it winds them right up. You're only frothing at the mouth with rabid hatred if you really really care about them.

Much too nice for us to ever use them. Lovely kits though.

I did wonder why you'd suddenly become all erudite and witty

Not sure where you're getting this from unless you're itk.

I think you are all too optimistic. I don't think they will be decisive about it.

Imagine being such a narcissist that you turn on perhaps the only poster on here willing to stick his neck out and at least partially come to your defence.

Worth pointing out that I never replied or referenced this joker for over a year on this forum and he mentioned or commented about me almost constantly during that period. The idea that he only.ever responds when someone else mentions him is a fiction he invented in his head.

Sure but there's advantages and disadvantages to having him vs not having him. Imo I can see why those at the top of reform think that the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages and tbh I would agree with them. You've said yourself he's miles better than most of the others. Long way till the election but I reckon Jenrick attracts more votes than he repels personally.

He has higher approval ratings than anyone else currently in reform, is a decent communicator and has cut through with the normies and the general public. You can hate everything he stands for and he's ever done but undeniably he is much more of a heavyweight than most of the others in the party. I can see why they would want him involved.

Whatever you think of him, he has more legitimacy amongst the general public. Certainly compared to someone like Lee. He's more electable for Reform than someone like Lee Anderson.

Not sure why that's funny? From their perspective, having some more heavyweight politicians like Jenrick with some recognition will help them combat claims of inexperience and being fringe loons amongst the general public even if there are obvious downsides as well.

You could argue that the very reason they need some more experience and serious politicians is because they have the likes of Lee Anderson.

It's a cost benefit analysis surely. The big thing is they need to show they aren't just a bunch of chances and need some people involved with experience of government and leadership. The downside as you say though is they will be tainted with previous failures. A difficult balancing act for sure.

Agree with that. Shame we didn't win but you can't accuse the players of not putting the effort in which hasn't been the case in a number of games this year.

Cheers for that. I now feel physically unwell.

He was. Credit where credit is due I think he will be better in a back four.

Very much what the fuck if this is true. I can only think maybe we owe a large bonus or something because otherwise not using a decent championship player is bizarre.

If its true that Burnley is offering us 20 million for THB and someone else maybe 8 million for Armstrong then personally I'd take the money. Peretz Jelert new cb Stephens Welington Charles Jander Fellows Azaz Scienza New striker/Stewart Is imo a better team. Maybe we could get a reasonable alternative to Azaz too.

All those players bar manning are top championship players. The issues are with their mentality, how we play and getting the best out of them and our team as a unit and how we operate or how the players have been asked or are choosing to play.

If this season has taught us anything it's that individual talent is far less important than having a coherent strategy with everyone aligned and playing their role so that the whole is greater than the sum of their parts. You won't convince me that teams like Millwall, Stoke and Hull have more talented individuals than we have but their teams are miles better.

100% true. Playing a formation we are more comfortable with and that may help us is just one part of a much larger list of things we need to do to improve.
